How Could Sony Improve the PSP

[RedKing14CA]

i like what there doing with the whole you must have 2.0 to play GTA and Lord of the Rings... if they can just stick with that, and not require 2.5.. im cool...

3 things I would really like:

The ability to stream video from remote servers that aren't LocationFree.
The ability to transfer save files from PSP to PSP.
Cell-phone, or at least PSP2PSP calling.

This is NOT the issue with memory cards. It's just the overhead of the FAT system that takes up that space. Haven't you noticed when you get a hard drive that it says 40 Gigs, but after formatting you only get (usable) about 38 gigs?

bolded = lie

want proof? 5 simple steps:

step 1. activate usb
step 2. go to MY COMPUTOR
step 3. find " Removable Disk (G: ) "
step 4. right-click it and go to Properties
step 5. check out your "Maximum Capacity".

and even if it was taken up by that other crap, why would it take different amounts on every single memory card (it varies 950-1024 for gig sticks, mine is labeled gig and has 956mb)

do the same type of check on your C-drive (hard drive), maximum will be under what the label says

You're right about this. MS DUOs use a FAT file system, so this is the case with MS DUOs. All storage mediums use file systems, even floppies. Floppies actually have 2MB, but since overhead takes it down to 1.44MB on PCs, thats what we've always been told. Without a file system, you can't even use files on a storage medium.

i really doubt the psp uses that, and that they even exsist. you wouldnt need one to use files anyways because all the memory card needs to do is hold the data. it does not have a processor in any way shape for form, therefore, uncompatable with any format recognizer, operater, or whatever the "FAT system" is supposed to be

btw i have a 80gig hd, but the max capacity is 69.2gigs

www.us.playstation.com 's update section for psp (towards the bottom of the firmware feature list) clearly states that firmware upgrades are not able to go higher than 2.00 on UMD's. if they cant put the update on the disk then they cant require it.

yes, the MS Duo does use a FAT file system. All flash media uses it to work with PCs and the devices they fit into (PSP, camera, pda, etc). If you check the properties of the PSP Mass Storage Device in My Computer, it clearly states that its a FAT File System. The MS Duo does not have any processor for working with files, but neither does any harddrive. Please stop debating this with me. I've been a computer nerd for 10 years, I know what I'm talking about.

$ony can improve the psp by making it visible outdoors in daylight. The psp is playable, if you don't mind wearing a jacket over your head while playing. And with a 20gb hard drive... HOW MUCH and WHERE CAN I GET ONE

Don't expect a 20GB for your PSP that won't make it outrageously big. That won't happen for maybe 4 years.

But the visibility idea is great. Yes, if the PSP needs one improvement its that one. Good job.
